ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2015


One of the worlds leading authorities on global security, Marc Goodman takes readers deep into the digital underground to expose the alarming ways criminals, corporations, and even countries are using new and emerging technologies against youand how this makes everyone more vulnerable than ever imagined. 


Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims every move. We all know todays criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but thats just the beginning. To date, no computer has been created that could not be hackeda sobering fact given our radical dependence on these machines for everything from our nations power grid to air traffic control to financial services. 
     Yet, as ubiquitous as technology seems today, just over the horizon is a tidal wave of scientific progress that will leave our heads spinning. If todays Internet is the size of a golf ball, tomorrows will be the size of the sun. Welcome to the Internet of Things, a living, breathing, global information grid where every physical object will be online. But with greater connections come greater risks. Implantable medical devices such as pacemakers can be hacked to deliver a lethal jolt of electricity and a cars brakes can be disabled at high speed from miles away. Meanwhile, 3-D printers can produce AK-47s, bioterrorists can download the recipe for Spanish flu, and cartels are using fleets of drones to ferry drugs across borders.
     With explosive insights based upon a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, Marc Goodman takes readers on a vivid journey through the darkest recesses of the Internet. Reading like science fiction, but based in science fact, Future Crimes explores how bad actors are primed to hijack the technologies of tomorrow, including robotics, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. These fields hold the power to create a world of unprecedented abundance and prosperity. But the technological bedrock upon which we are building our common future is deeply unstable and, like a house of cards, can come crashing down at any moment.
     Future Crimes provides a mind-blowing glimpse into the dark side of technological innovation and the unintended consequences of our connected world. Goodman offers a way out with clear steps we must take to survive the progress unfolding before us. Provocative, thrilling, and ultimately empowering, Future Crimes will serve as an urgent call to action that shows how we can take back control over our own devices and harness technologys tremendous power for the betterment of humanitybefore its too late.

Os avanços tecnológicos têm beneficiado nosso mundo de maneiras inimagináveis, mas há um lado sinistro: a tecnologia pode se voltar contra nós. Os hackers podem ativar babás eletrônicas para espionar as famílias, os ladrões estão analisando as redes sociais para planejar invasões de domicílio e os stalkers estão explorando o GPS de smartphones para monitorar cada movimento de suas vítimas, mas isso é apenas o começo. Com uma sólida carreira em segurança pública e contraterrorismo, Marc Goodman leva os leitores a uma jornada pelos recantos mais sombrios da internet. Como uma leitura de ficção científica, mas com base em fatos científicos, Future Crimes explora como os criminosos estão prontos para sequestrar as tecnologias do futuro, incluindo a robótica, a biologia sintética e a inteligência artificial. Goodman oferece uma saída com os passos claros que devemos tomar para sobreviver ao progresso que se desdobra diante de nós. Future Crimes mostra como podemos retomar o controle de nossos dispositivos e explorar o enorme poder da tecnologia para o avanço da humanidade, antes que seja tarde demais.

Okay, let's just scare everyone into being terrified of hackers and criminals. Way over the top and could have presented the information and data in such a way that demonstrated caution and respect for the reader instead of fear mongering and terror. ( )

There's lots of fascinating information here but it is tragically mired in a sea of enless repetion, unnecessary explanations, and pointless speculation. ( )

"Future Crimes" paints a grim picture about how our computers, cell phones, or basically any of our electronic communications devices can be "hacked". We probably all recognize this fact, seeing how the Pentagon, the CIA, major defense contractors, and Corporate giants are being hacked, but prefer to believe that we're small players, and probably won't be bothered. But Marc Goodman makes it clear that we're all susceptible to electronic invasions of privacy. Chapter after chapter repeat this message. Just as you're about to lose all hope, and want to permanently disconnect your computer, the author offers helpful and practical tips for keeping your data safe. Aside from the unsettling message, the book really is interesting and informative, and it's well worth paying attention to the hazards, and the steps you can take to keep yourself protected and your data safe.
